Chapter 24
Lu Qian left after tidying up the room .
Han Xiao climbed onto the bed and closed his eyes . Now, he had to wait for Division 13 to approach him .
"I am not strong enough yet . "
Han Xiao understood that he couldn't just rely on Stardragon to deal with the Germinal Organization . He had to become much stronger in order to be able to take matters into his own hands . In any case, for now, he also had to be strong enough to gain Division 13's special attention .
Since there were neither quests to do nor monsters to hunt, the only way to get stronger now was through crafting . Han Xiao would need money to make machines, so he planned to find some way to make extra income . The city provided him with many opportunities . His long journey had only just begun .
With only six months left to launch, he had to treasure the remaining time .
After resting for a while, Han Xiao returned downstairs . Lu Qian was working on a household appliance at the workbench . Her denim shorts truly accentuated her perky curves, and Han Xiao couldn't help but steal glances at those slender, long legs of hers .
"The orders are in the drawer," she said to Han Xiao as she wiped her sweat with a towel .
The workshop didn't see much business and most of the orders were advance orders . Han Xiao picked out a few easy ones and began working .
At 7 PM, they closed for the day .
Lu Qian changed into a comfy white dress and let her hair down, giving her the air of a kind, beautiful sister . There were patches sewn onto her dress, implying that they weren't doing so well financially . Han Xiao wondered if the reason she wore so little during work was if she was saving fabric .
Old Man Lu finally showed his face for dinner .
"Let's eat . "
Old Man Lu with his long and, messy hair certainly did not seem the type of person to do household chores . Their meals were, indeed, always prepared by Lu Qian .
Han Xiao picked up a piece of char siu 1 with his chopsticks and placed it in his mouth . It was fatty but not oily, and was extremely tasteful . Han Xiao was visibly delighted .
"Delicious, right?" smiled Lu Qian in glee .
Now this—this is proper food! What the hell have I been eating for the past 6 months?
"There's still a lot, so eat slowly," she added, pleased by the sight of his voracious appetite .
As they continued eating, Old Man Lu suddenly asked, "Who exactly are you?"
Han Xiao, stopping his chopsticks in mid-air, replied, "I'm just an ordinary person . "
"Do you think you can deceive me with such a blatant lie, kid? Tell me the truth," the old man snorted .
Han Xiao's eye twitched .
"And what if I don't want to?"
"Don't want to?"
Suddenly, Old Man Lu tilted his head back as he began to release a domineering aura of strange, wild melancholy that threatened to engulf Han Xiao .
A look of seriousness appeared on Han Xiao's face . Twisting, he leapt backwards five meters, raising his arms in a cross-shaped guard to defend himself .
